I had a date night on Friday 11/1/2024. I wish that I could recall the name of the Bartender / Server who assisted us ("Lance", perhaps) but he was absolutely wonderful and made the evening very memorable. I asked his recommendation for margaritas, he provided three diverse options immediately with gusto. I ended up ordering all three by the end of our meal. The food was good but not amazing. I ordered the Birria Tacos and, while tasty, Denver has some really good Birria taco options so I'm a bit of a snub. The service was prompt and attentive to our needs. The music was light and not distracting; the decor is colorful and inviting. Would consider returning again. "Lance" is the reason I'm writing this review.
